AC and DC Signals

This is part of BMW E34 Learning Resources, Topics related to Signals. See Learning Resource index page and Electronic Signals for more details.

There are two types of such signals in BMW factory/production process:

• AC Type Signals, induced by shifting of a magnetic field,
• DC Type Signals, induced via multiple types of signals and sensors (Analog, Digital, Coded et al.).

It’s important to note that two types of data/information transmission signals are known in electrical engineerings, and these are Analog Signals & Digital Signals. To convert different type of signals, a ADC/DAC converters are used - this PDF hosted by analog.com greatly explores this topic in-depth.

Reference to external link AC, DC and Electrical Signals hosted by Electronics Club, describing aftermentioned signals in more details. The lab materials titled “ADALM1000 Based Lab Activity (Electronics I and II)” freely available here, goes into detail on analog devices controls, conversion and communication in circuit engineering. The aftermentioned lab material is based on ADALM1000 Overview learning module which I highly recommend referencing to first, and then moving to lab activities later on.
